Whether role-play, writer’s tools, or discussion groups, virtual worlds are full of stories being born. But is that all that is possible? How could a Library play a dynamic role in bringing literature and stories to vibrant life through the traditional oral presentation? The Seanchai Library was founded in 2008 as a library of the “living word” with the stated objective of connecting people to literature of all kinds: inspiring them to seek out, share, and create stories as a natural necessity of the human experience. With thousands of hours of live voice performance to its credit, Seanchai Library uses a variety of presentational to immersive approaches, utilizing the immediacy and intimacy of live performance teamed with the sense of community possible only in a virtual environment. Come and explore stories with Seanchai, and see how they do it.
